[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 3258035, member: 77704"]I am a 'newbie' to CT. That is relatively speaking, compared to "oldtimers" like Bing...... I must say, since I am that quirky guy who dares to also collect, "modern" stuff.....by that I mean coins that were struck after the Fall of Constantinople in 1453....means that I also post on the "world" and "US" forums. By far, you guys/ gals devoted to ancients are the most passionate, articulate and nicest people to share the hobby with.:) I was always a history buff, but I have learned a lot about ancients that I never knew about before I joined. Its nice also to see the coin types that i personally do not collect, all coins are beautifull to admire. Its because of this that I started expanding mu interests into Imperial/ RR AR Denari/ also my get into Provincial Tetradrachms (after seeing Triton XXII) selection. I remember when I first saw Cucumbor's ID and noted "Dombes", had i not have had a coin from there, I probably would not have known that he has a fantastic Dombes collection. Ancient Joe, who has a truly magnificent collection, reached out to give me that "sage advice", I certainly thank him for that. I love Bing's passion for RR coins.
